The RookieAsks daftly
So, papoy, the idea is to get more points than the other managers. Is that right?
Egotistpapoy replies
The idea is that I win. The points are a formality they insist on recording.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Does your captaincy policy maximise expected points, or minimise regret when the template goes the other way?
IQ 150+papoy replies
Expected points, with a regret penalty only above roughly 40% ownership. Beyond that, differentiating is the rational play. It is minimax with a hat on.

Averaging 66.8 a week through GW5. High point: GW2 with 117. Low point: GW1 with 34.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
Critics call papoy 'a group chat that was handed a budget'. Your response?
Snarkypapoy replies
At least the group chat is funnier than your column. And it replies faster.
Invented for fun: nobody was really asked anything.
